Menopause can feel like a storm that disrupts every aspect of life, from physical health to emotional well-being. For many women in midlife, the financial impact of this transition is one of the most challenging hurdles. Symptoms like brain fog, chronic fatigue, and reduced energy levels can make maintaining a demanding career or business feel impossible. If you’re a woman tackling menopause and feeling the pinch financially, you’re not alone—and there’s a way forward. Here we explore how you can rebuild confidence, create new income streams, and reclaim financial freedom without burning out.
Menopause often arrives at a time when women expect stability. You might have planned to ease off on the gas, only to find unexpected curveballs—health challenges, reduced work capability, or unforeseen expenses. Research shows that menopause can lead to a significant drop in income for many women, with some studies estimating that women over 50 face a 20% reduction in earnings due to health-related work limitations, or more if they cannot fathom how to work at this life stage. Symptoms like fatigue and brain fog can make traditional 9-to-5 roles or physically demanding jobs unsustainable, leaving many feeling trapped.
My story mirrors this struggle. As a single mum who transitioned from working with horses to teaching, I faced chronic fatigue post-menopause, which limited my ability to work long hours. Yet, I refused to let these challenges define my future. Instead, I found ways to adapt, and I’m sharing those strategies with you.
Traditional career paths often demand long hours, high energy, and relentless focus—qualities that menopause symptoms can undermine. For women who’ve spent years in physically or mentally taxing roles, the inability to keep up can erode confidence. The financial lies we’ve been sold—like the idea that you need to “work harder” to earn more—only deepen this frustration.
The good news? You don’t need to grind endlessly to rebuild your income. The modern economy offers flexible, sustainable opportunities that align with your skills and energy levels. By leveraging the subscription economy, you can create income streams that work on your terms, whether you’re in the UK, US, or anywhere else.
The subscription economy is a game-changer for midlife women. It allows you to tap into memberships and communities that offer both income potential and personal fulfilment. These opportunities are built on sharing your skills—whether from teaching, coaching, or even hobbies like horse riding—and connecting with supportive networks.
When choosing a subscription-based opportunity, consider these factors:
Alignment: Does the opportunity resonate with your values and passions?
Community: Are the people involved supportive and inspiring?
Sustainability: Is the model secure and built for long-term growth?
Flexibility: Can you work at your own pace without risking burnout?
I’ve carefully selected memberships that meet these criteria, allowing me to earn income while managing chronic fatigue and supporting my daughter’s medical needs. These opportunities are accessible worldwide, meaning you can join from anywhere and start building a brighter financial future.
Let me share a bit about my path. I’ve overcome menopause’s challenges, from extreme symptoms to financial upheaval as a single mum. My background working with horses taught me resilience, but menopause forced me to rethink how I earn a living. I transitioned to tutoring part-time, which I love, and added subscription-based income streams that fit my energy levels.
This shift wasn’t about starting from scratch—it was about adapting my existing skills to a new model. Using simple tools like my phone and Zoom, I’m building a sustainable income that gives me freedom and connection. If I can do it, so can you. The key is finding opportunities that align with who you are and what you want from life.
Rebuilding your financial confidence starts with small, intentional steps. Here’s how to begin:
Reflect on Your Skills: What are you good at? Teaching, organising, or even creative pursuits can be monetised.
Explore Subscription Opportunities: Look for memberships that offer training, community, and income potential.
Do Your Due Diligence: Research the opportunity’s track record and community support.

The Cost-of-Living Crisis and What you can do to Thrive
04 April 2022
It’s all over the news and social media, there is a rapidly developing cost of living crisis. For many there already was and has been for some time.
Let’s just make it clear; 100% of women will go through perimenopause and on into menopause. 99% of women going through ‘The Change’ will experience some symptoms that can affect daily life to some degree.
Like most of us I didn’t always have a flexible work regime and found myself working hours for a fixed income that didn’t quite meet the lifestyle I wanted to lead.
In fact, it was not all that long ago that I had to totally reassess what I was doing and where I wanted to be.
